Sleep and diet tips to improve skin


Rx for Brown Skin for African American skin care

 


While there are a lot of African American skin care products that promise to keep your skin looking young as you age, what do you do if your complexion starts to look old before you've even hit your 30s? It's possible that some of your lifestyle habits could be causing your skin to look worn out before it's time. Here are some tips to stop this from happening from WFMZ, a Colorado news source.


First, be sure to get plenty of sleep to improve your skin. Also, you may want to change the position you sleep in at night. For example, if you sleep face-down at night than fluid may collect underneath your eyes. The solution to this is to sleep with your head slightly elevated with multiple pillows. Also, try a cold compress if you wake up with a swollen face.


Next, you may want to your limit sodium intake, because too much salt can cause your body to shift fluids into other spaces, particularly beneath the eyes.


Self Magazine recommends eating strawberries, citrus fruits, broccoli and red peppers for a smooth complexion.

  1. One of the benefits of good and healthy diet is a good skin reflection. Too much of salty foods and sodas makes you look dull. Citrus fruits adds fluids in the body for you to look fresh.
